Frankly, I'm kind of surprised they managed to only get about 5 hp and lb-ft torque out of it. I mean, a drop in filter alone usually adds around that and they improved not only the filter design but also the intake, exhaust, lowered friction, and optimized other things but yet.. minimal gains. You had one job Toyota/Subaru!

Oh well... at least it's something.
